Purpose: Increase puck handling skills while escaping an
attack. Increase rink awareness to pass the puck back to the defense when in
trouble.

Directions: Skaters line up below the goalie line. At
the direction of the leader the first skater in each line quickly skates with a
puck up and around the cone. As the skater completes the tight turn and gains
control of the puck he makes a pass to the next skater in line.

Variations: Good station drill. Skate the puck forehand
only, backhand only, or with 1
hand. Pass the puck on the forehand or backhand.
